| | | Which Park I should go to? I am planning to go to america (i liv in South Africa) just to ride some decent coasters i'll never find in SA.
So... i was hoping for you guys to tell me where i should go, but cuase i'm so feisty... ther is certain kinds of coasters i want to ride:
A woodie (none in SA!):sadface:
A B&M (inverted/floorless/standup)Medusa,[B]Deuling Dragons[/B],Mantis
A [U][B]Hyper!!![/B][/U] (B&M or Intamin)-[B]Millenium Force[/B] or Superman
A Launched coaster ([B]Storm Runner[/B], KK/TTD):D
A 4th Dimension ([B]X[/B], DUH!):rolleyes:
Definitly a Flying (it looks so much fun!):heart:
A dive machine (Sheikra)
Impulse Coaster (Wicked Twister)
I DEFINITLY have to ride a rocket coaster
So far i want to go to either Cedar point or SFMM:confused:
I only want to go to 2 parks that are close to each other.
So far my choice is SFMM cause these days... I JUST WANNE RIDE X!!
Please tell me of parks that have most of these type of coasters.

| | | Well, based on your list, I'd say go to Los Angeles. You'll have SFMM, where you'll be able to get the 4th dimension, flyer (if you're going next year), stand up, and hyper. You'll get a couple of woodies, though they're not very good examples of them.
You can then also spend some time at Knott's, which isn't far from SFMM, and there you can get in Xcelerator and Montezuma's, so you'll have your launched and rocket coaster.
Then plan on spending a few days at Disneyland and get the full theme park experience like no other one out there.
You'll be able to get the most for your trip in the smallest area that way. The other option would be Florida, but for what you're wanting I think the SoCal option would be much better- easier to do and more than you want on the list.

| | | i'd go to SFMM and then Knott's
you kick off the good flying/giant inverted boomerang/some decent woodies/decent inverted/awesome standup/4th dimension outta the way
and then you go up the road to Knott's where you have Xcelerator, the rocket, Silver Bullet the invert, and Ghostrider, an excellent woodie
If you want more, there's Disneyland and Legoland (both more for the theme park feel) not too far away..
Pennsylvania/NJ wouldn't be a bad idea either.. You have Dorney Park (Hydra/Talon), Knoebels (widely known as best park in the world plus Phoenix), SFGadv (awesome woodie, Nitro, KK), and even Hershey (Storm Runner/Great Bear) all within a couple of hours within each other. If your willing to drive a couple hours, the Northeast or FLA (Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa) are not bad options either... If your looking for high quality parks 25-30 min from each other, Los Angeles...

| | | When do you want to go because Cedar Point is currently closed for the season, yes it is winter here in the USA:( unlike South Africa. So like everyone else, I say go to Knott's and SFMM.
Knott's has what you are looking for in Xcelerator and Ghost Rider.
SFMM has X, and all the B&M's you need. No Dive Machine.
